IRA - Polish rock band formed in 1987 in Radom by Jakub Plucisz (guitar), Wojciech Owczarek (drums), Artur Gadowski (vocal, guitar), Dariusz Grudzien (bass) and Grzegorz Wawrzenczuk (keyboards). They gained a wide popularity in Poland in the early nineties, mainly after releasing the "Moj Dom" album, with the hit title song, which was still during their garage and semi-professional days. They also gained some local popularity amongst the Polish-speaking citizens in the United States, where they lived and worked for few months. After signing a professional contract back in Poland, they released a few albums which didn't prove to be commercially successful (except for the "Moj Dom" follow-up, which was "IRA 1993"), and the band disbanded afterwards.
